An absolutely moronic feature, just my opinion. If I want a 4 banger, I'd buy a 4 banger.

Moronic? You are joking right? This is a HUGE engineering accomplishment to avoid you having to pay a 4 digit guzzler tax on your Camaro.
Now it's fair for you to say you would pay it, but not many would. It would certainly impact sales if every Automatic Camaro had to add over a grand to the sticker.
So I can certainly understand your not liking the feature.................but moronic?
